It may be illogical for men to accept cheerfully unpardonable public scandals, benighted educational systems, bad sanitation, bad lighting, a blundering and inefficient system of life, and yet to resent the tearing up of a telegram or a post-card; but the fact remains that the sensitiveness of men is a strange and localised thing, and there is hardly a man in the world who would not rather be ruled by despots chosen by lot and live in a city like a mediæval Ghetto, than be forbidden by a policeman to smoke another cigarette, or sit up a quarter of an hour later; hardly a man who would not feel inclined in such a case to raise a rebellion for a caprice for which he did not really care a straw.
Every ounce of its dust passed through his hands; every post-card and letter of credit. He did its banking and exchange; carried and distributed its mails. He frowned upon competition; frightened out predatory capital; bluffed militant syndicates, and when they would not, backed his bluff and broke them.
So I'm going back to her back to Brooklyn for Christmas." "A merry one to you," growled Cargan. "Maybe," replied Mr. Peters. "Very likely, if she's feeling that way. I hope so. I ain't giving up the hermit job altogether I'll come back in the summers, to my post-card business. There's money in it, if it's handled right. But I've spent my last winter on that lonesome hill."
Besides I have felt the same vague disquietude about you more than once before and have not written. Perhaps I should not write even now unless I had a great deal more time at my disposal than I know what to do with. Who knows?

'I think it is, he said. 'I think it's all right. 'I'd rather Doctor Wing came again I don't feel satisfied. 'Aren't you trying to imagine it worse than it really is? 'You would say so, of course. But I shall write a post-card to Doctor Wing now. The doctor came next day. He examined the knee. Yes, there was inflammation. Yes, there might be a little septic poisoning there might. There might.
Perhaps that was why, in the last issue, they seemed so cold to her.... She shivered and turned to the other envelope. The large stilted characters, though half-familiar, called up no definite image. She opened the envelope and discovered a post-card of the Ibis, canvas spread, bounding over a rippled sea. On the back was written: "So awfully dear of you to lend us Mr. Lansing for a little cruise.
"Suppose Istra wanted to make up, and came back to London?" was a terrifying thought that hounded him. He dashed into the waiting-room and wrote to her, on a souvenir post-card showing the Abbey: "Called back to America will write. Address care of Souvenir Company, Twenty-eighth Street." But he didn't mail the card.
A post-card written from a squalid back-street lodging had been his first intimation that the Frenchman was in London, and within two hours of receiving it Max had removed him to the private nursing-home in which he himself was at that time domiciled.
If it had happened to be in any way your business " "Ah!" cried the Imp triumphantly. "You've no answer, so you turn round and abuse me! But I don't care. I meant to tell you what I thought of you, and I've done it." "A post-card would have done it as well," Harry suggested. "But you've gone too far, oh yes, you have. If you ever change your mind " "What about?
"Rupert well, he was grown, he could arrange his own life; so he just went away. We got a letter now and then, or a post-card. There was money enough to send us to expensive schools and dress us well. It was two years before I really saw Ricky again. You can't call short visits on Sunday afternoons seeing anyone.
